Oh there'll be a patch soon.

Soon? How soon is soon?
I deliberately got it nice and early so I could, you know

Play it.

I don't know
but the turn around of a patch for such a large game is normally quite quick.

I think you should be well within your right to take it back and swap it for the xbox 360 version.

I bought it through Steam

I'd still like to take this moment to bemoan the ethic of 'shove it the fuck out the door and we'll patch it later' that seems to have sprung up nowadays.

THANK YOU

It'll get patched eventually. But still, it's deplorable.
I'm going to buy it for 360, mainly cos my creaky old PC can't handle it. I should hope it's a bit less buggy.

I agree
but there is a lot of politics involved. The publishers are the ones who force it out on a specific date so they don't miss their targets. The devs just have to put with the misery of releasing an unfinished product.

Also with pc games it would be impossible to test it on all possible
hardware/software combinations. So some bugs only come up once the software's released.

I'm making light of disaster
to keep my spirits up.
